Product details
Overview
1N5941BUR-1 from Microsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AB (MELF) glass package, rated for 47 V ±5% Zener voltage at 8.0 mA test current, with 67 Ω dynamic impedance and 35.8 mA maximum Zener current. It delivers stable voltage regulation in high-density power supply rails and precision reference circuits across industrial temperature ranges.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5941BUR-1 datasheet, 1N5941BUR-1 pinout, 1N5941BUR-1 application, or 1N5941BUR-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its hermetically sealed MELF construction, MIL-PRF-19500 screening capability, low thermal resistance (RθJEC = 40 °C/W), RoHS-compliant plating, and ESD insensitivity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with Zener voltage specified at TEC = 30 °C and measured 90 seconds after DC current application. Its metallurgically bonded tungsten slug structure ensures low thermal resistance and enhanced reliability under thermal cycling.
The 1N5941BUR-1 exhibits 0.25 µA reverse leakage at 35.8 V (76% of VZ) and maintains regulation over IZ = 1.0–35.8 mA, with capacitance ~33 pF (per Figure 2). It is radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and non-sensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V ±5% at IZT = 8.0 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight tolerance for precision references. |
| Power Dissipation | 1.5 W @ TEC ≤ 115 °C - supports continuous operation in compact layouts with adequate end-cap heatsinking. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 67 Ω at IZT = 8.0 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes. |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 35.8 mA - sets absolute upper limit for safe DC regulation without exceeding 1.5 W derated power. |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in extended industrial, aerospace, and downhole environments. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJEC) | 40 °C/W - allows direct thermal path to PCB copper or metal heatsink via end caps, critical for power density. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25 µA @ VR = 35.8 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or low-power monitoring circuits. |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (MELF) glass package: hermetically sealed voidless hard glass body with tungsten slugs; cathode indicated by single band; tin/lead or RoHS-compliant matte tin plating; weight ≈ 0.05 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Current sink in Zener mode | Connected to lower-potential node; carries full Zener current during regulation. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Provides stable 47 V reference; must be held positive relative to anode for breakdown operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Metallurgically bonded internal contacts | Reduces thermal resistance and improves long-term stability under thermal stress cycles. |
| Hermetic glass sealing | Prevents moisture ingress and parameter drift in humid or corrosive environments. |
| MIL-PRF-19500 screening option | Enables use in high-reliability programs requiring military-grade qualification and lot traceability. |
| ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 | Eliminates need for external ESD protection in handling and assembly of sensitive systems. |
| Low capacitance (~33 pF) | Minimizes high-frequency loading in RF bias networks and fast-switching power control loops. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5941B | Axial-leaded DO-41 package; identical electrical specs but higher RθJA (120 °C/W vs. 40 °C/W); no MIL-PRF-19500 screening option. | Suitable for prototyping and low-volume through-hole assemblies; not recommended for high-density or high-reliability SMT designs. | Select 1N5941B only when board assembly uses wave soldering or legacy through-hole infrastructure. |
| SMBG5941B | Surface-mount SMB package; same VZ, IZM, and tolerance; RθJA = 100 °C/W; RoHS-compliant; no hermetic seal or radiation hardness. | Applicable in commercial telecom and consumer power supplies where cost and footprint dominate over reliability and environmental robustness. | Choose SMBG5941B for cost-sensitive, high-volume production where hermeticity and radiation tolerance are unnecessary. |
Compared with 1N5941B and SMBG5941B, the 1N5941BUR-1 uniquely combines MELF packaging, hermetic glass sealing, metallurgical bonding, MIL-PRF-19500 screening eligibility, and superior thermal performance-making it the only choice for mission-critical, high-temperature, or radiation-exposed Zener regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test condition for the 1N5941BUR-1?
The 1N5941BUR-1 has a Zener voltage of 47 V with ±5% tolerance, measured at a test current (IZT) of 8.0 mA and end-cap temperature (TEC) maintained at 30 °C. Voltage is recorded 90 seconds after DC current application to ensure thermal stabilization, per Microsemi T4-LDS-0300-1 specification.
Does the 1N5941BUR-1 support MIL-PRF-19500 screening?
Yes, the 1N5941BUR-1 is eligible for screening per MIL-PRF-19500 when ordered with appropriate reliability level suffixes (e.g., MQ, MX, MV, MSP). Screening includes environmental stress testing, lot traceability, and quality assurance documentation required for defense and aerospace programs.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N5941BUR-1?
The 1N5941BUR-1 has a rated average power dissipation (PM(AV)) of 1.5 W. At ambient temperature (TA) = 25 °C on FR4 with 1 oz Cu, it is derated to 1.25 W; full 1.5 W is permitted only when end-cap temperature (TEC) is held ≤ 115 °C, leveraging its 40 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance.
Is the 1N5941BUR-1 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the "-1" suffix in 1N5941BUR-1 indicates RoHS-compliant matte tin plating over copper terminals. The device meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is compatible with lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds, as verified in Microsemi's qualification testing.
How does the DO-213AB (MELF) package of the 1N5941BUR-1 improve thermal performance versus DO-41?
The 1N5941BUR-1's DO-213AB MELF package achieves RθJEC = 40 °C/W due to direct thermal conduction through metallurgically bonded tungsten slugs to PCB copper pads, whereas the axial DO-41 version (1N5941B) relies on lead-frame conduction and exhibits RθJA = 120 °C/W - making the 1N5941BUR-1 significantly more effective in thermally constrained SMT applications.
